Dave, I was pretty diligent about the water e.g. not splashing it about. Checked the connectors at the front of the engine, all seems fine. It’s most likely coincidence that I flushed and this problem has come along. I have not seen a Management light.
Thought I would see the temperature rise if it was a coolant problem.
The car sat for a good 14 months until April this year, it’s had at least two tank fills (on a half tank of one of those at the moment) done some 450 miles. It’s possible it has dredged up something from the tank as modern petrol does not like to sit.
So thought I would go get some injector cleaner, drop that in.
It’s like she has a lack of power at low speed. I need to gun her to keep her going.
I need to get this sorted as I am away in her to France soon. And need my confidence back in her. I have had no trouble with the 4/4 that seems comparatively easy to diagnose issues!
Would an air block in the cooling system cause this?
Will run her on the drive for a while see what happens.
Thanks both for your thoughts so far.
Paul
